The line of argument pursued in this paper is to proceed from Einstein’s fundamental problem situation to a consideration of scientific representation with respect to the Special theory of relativity ...
Relativity of Simultaneity and Eternalism: In Defense of Blockworld
Blockworld special relativity presentism
2008/4/22
Ever since the now infamous comments made by Hermann Minkowski in 1908 concerning the proper way to view space-time, the debate has raged as to whether or not the universe should be viewed as a four-d...
Relativity theory between structural and dynamical explanations

In this review article I discuss Harvey Brown’s recent book Physical Relativity (OUP, 2005) by presenting and criticizing some of his main arguments in favour of a dynamical underpinning of rods contr...
A brief review (~8K words) of the history and philosophy of special and general relativity for a Dictionary of the History of Ideas
In a companion paper (Pooley & Brown 2001) it is argued that Julian Barbour's Machian approach to dynamics provides a genuinely relational interpretation of Newtonian dynamics and that it is more ...
The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that the analysis of the kinematical effects of special
relativity holds the key to answering the question of the dimensionality of the world. It is s...
Review of Time and the Metaphysics of Relativity

In his recent book Time and the Metaphysics of Relativity, William Lane Craig uses the concept of time to try to reconstruct strong conceptual links between theology, metaphysics and physics, three ve...
Some Thoughts on Relativity and the Flow of Time: Einstein's Equations given Absolute Simultaneity
Einstein Relativity
2008/4/21
The A-theory of time has intuitive and metaphysical appeal, but suffers from tension, if not inconsistency, with the special and general theories of relativity (STR and GTR). The A-theory requires a n...
Special Relativity and the Future: A Defense of the Point Present
time temporality indeterminacy tense special relativity
2008/4/21
In this paper, I defend a theory of local temporality, sometimes referred to as a point-present theory. This theory has the great advantage that it allows for the possibility of an open future without...
Special Relativity, Coexistence and Temporal Parts: A Reply to Gilmore
special relativity coexistence temporal parts
2008/4/21
In two earlier works (Balashov, 2000a and 2000b), I have argued that considerations based on special relativity and the notion of coexistence favor the perdurance view of persistence over its enduranc...

Special relativity time spacetime quantum theory
2008/4/21
McTaggart distinguished two conceptions of time: the A-series, according to which events are either past, present or future; and the B-series, according to which events are merely earlier or later tha...
Special Theory of Relativity and the Lorentz Force
Special Theory of Relativity Lorentz Trandformations
2008/4/21
Efforts to demonstrate that the application of Lorentz transformations leads to the form Y' = [Y - (v/c)N] (at least to the leading orders of approximation), which has been elevated to the criterion f...
The origin of the spacetime metric: Bell's `Lorentzian pedagogy' and its significance in general relativity

2008/4/21
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the `Lorentzian Pedagogy' defended by J.S. Bell in his essay ``How to teach special relativity'', and to explore its consistency with Einstein's thinking from ...
Standard Quantum mechanics (SQM) deals with observers, frames of reference (apparatus) and systems under observation (SUOs). Heisenberg based his approach to quantum mechanics on a desire to avoid met...
The Methodological Value of Coincidences: Further Remarks on Dark Matter and the Astrophysical Warrant for General Relativity

This paper compares four techniques for measuring the masses of galaxies and larger astrophysical systems from their dynamics. The apparent agreement of these techniques is sometimes invoked as reason...
